Mike Valliere

Mike Valliere is a South Austin singer-guitarist—stompin' and hollerin' frontman for Copper Chief—who also books frequent solo and acoustic country sets, including a strong historical count on San Jac Saloon calendars. His music spans roots, rock and roll, country, soul, swamp, and blues: high-energy live shows with tall tales and dance-floor grit.

As Copper Chief's vocals and guitar, Valliere has hit rooms like Billy Bob's Texas and festival stages; solo, he lands FOX 7 Good Day Austin appearances, Rainey Street gigs, and multi-hour San Jac-style bar residencies. Originals such as The Hill Country Fog and Copper Chief tracks like Muddy Water mark him as both songwriter and showman.

HeyAustin catalogs Mike Valliere so San Jac, Copper Chief, and Austin circuit listings can match by name and inherit a full profile—bio, video, and imagery—when the calendar only prints the act name and time.
